They could be sweet, but if Volant wants to market to this crowd, they really need to do something about their graphics...the steel may be a good concept, but it isn't selling to well. Call me an asshole for saying so, but look at who rides Volant on the hill...nobody...not even having the most influential team rider (McConkey) is selling to kids...just like Nordica and Kristi Leskinen...Nordica puts all sorts of dough into promoting her, yet their skis sell, uh not much. I realize it is hard to make a ski specific to newschool and market strictly to the newschool crowd, but cool pictures sell skis, and right now eventhough Volant could be the best ski out there, no body is really all that interested.

scratch that, i just went and looked and their new skis have some cool lookin graphics. maybe its also cuz they dont have pure jib skis, all their skis are big mountain, nothing to compete with scratch fs or mad trix or 1080s

what you really gotta remember is that most of the people who want jib skis - they're still in school. Volants are fucking costly - it cost me like a grand for mine with a 912 binding 2 years ago, and that was with a healthy discount!
so if you're gonna try to get your folks to buy you new skis, or you just got a little part time going down, the take ages to save for.

which is why you need credit cards...

true, I wanted some Volants too, but the cost was too much for me at the time. still is.

I've had a pair of machete hucksters sitting in my room for the past couple years. I think this season i'll be mounting them up though.
